Brendan Howard brings veteran size, pedigree, and toughness to North Dakota
In the 2025-26 season, Brendan Howard is a seasoned forward whose value goes beyond the box score: he’s a former two-time Montana Gatorade Player of the Year, a 2,000-point prep scorer, and a proven rebounder with a physical 6-foot-5/6-foot-6 frame that translates well to versatile frontcourt minutes.[1][10][12] He’s the kind of experienced, high-motor fit teams love because he brings maturity, academic discipline, and a track record of production; the question isn’t whether he can compete, but how much he can still give at the college level after a winding career path and prior transfers.[1][5][10]
